Need to get a race bumper install ASAP

so eventually the IX is going to be all carbon fiber / lexan windows, etc. Right now though, I need to replace just the rear bumper panel. What do you guys suggest, needs to be for a race application. Also dont know what exhaust I am getting (if any, might just dump). Can you guys post pics and ideas? money not an issue, need the lightest and most aerodynamic part possible. Thanks!

P.S. Not sure if this should be here since it is a performance request, so sorry if its in the wrong section.

If money is no issue why not be a proper checkbook mechanic and call up AMS or ETS or Buschur or etc etc etc. Treat the Evo right like should do your RS4 or 355....

Ya, I would say the same thing.

If you wanted to order the stuff and put it on yourself and not go through anyone else, I would get the jdm rear bumper and Voltex Rear diffuser/undertray. IMO

I was looking at AMS but they seem to resell the APR stuff. I have a race mechanic here working on my car, so needed to get the kit / bumper and have him install it.

ideally I want to get a body kit that has been tried and tested in race applications.

Voltex pieces were wind tunnel tested on a jdm evo (with jdm bumper), that's why I would say get Voltex Undertray and the JDM Bumper since that is what the undertray was tested and designed with. If money was no option I would get all of the Voltex pieces (version 2) because they were made to compliment each other well.

I don't know anything about APR. I have seen their stuff though. Looks good.

I have read that real voltex bodykits are wind tunnel tested. Might want to try searching that for starters. I am sure there are a bunch of other quality kits out there however, I have never researched it.
